In August 1760, around sixty women and children were taken captive in a Comanche raid on Ranchos de Taos. The raid reflected the dangers of life on New Mexico's frontier during the 17th and 18th centuries, when Hispanic and Indigenous communities alike raided each other and suffered enormous consequences. Thousands of women and children were taken captive, and most were never returned. One known captive from this raid, María Rosa Villapando, was traded to the Pawnees and, after ten years, was ransomed by her future husband, a French trader from St. Louis. She was reunited with her New Mexican son, Joseph Julian Jaques, in 1802. Her grandson, Antoine Leroux, later returned to Taos and married into the Vigil family, making her the ancestral matriarch of several prominent Taos families.
